正好翻译到艾伦坡的一篇小说，就在这儿把他的生平顺手贴出来。
EDGAR ALLAN POEAmerican short-story writer, poet, critic, and
editor who is famous for his cultivation of mystery and the
macabre. His tale “The Murders in the Rue Morgue” (1841)
initiated the modern detective story, and the atmospherein his
tales of horror is unrivaled in American fiction. His “The Raven” (1845) numbers among the best-known poems in the
national literature.埃德加.艾伦坡美国短篇小说作家，诗人，评论家，编辑。以在神秘和恐怖小说方面的修为闻名于世。现代侦探小说从他的小说《毛格街血案》（1841）开始。他制造恐怖气氛的能力在美国文学界是独一无二的。他的《乌鸦》（1845）被列举为世界文学界最著名的诗歌之
一。
EDGAR ALLAN POE (1809-1849)Although his life was short and
tragic, Edgar Allan Poe is considered by a few to be the founder
of American letters, by many to be the inventor of horror
stories and fantasy novels, and by one and all to be the father
of detective fiction. He was the child of two actors, orphaned
as a tot, expelled from West Point, and rejected by his fiancé
e. He married his cousin and, after she died of tuberculosis,
wed the original fiancée. Through much of his forty years, his
health was poor.Despite—or perhaps inspired by—his
circumstances, Poe became a published poet at age twenty, and he
served as editor of the Southern Literary Messenger until he
was fired at age twenty-eight for drunkenness. By the time Poe
wrote The Murders in the Rue Morgue, when he was thirty-two, he
was already well established with his literary criticism,
magazine articles, short stories, and poetry.The Murders in the
Rue Morgue is considered to be the single most, important piece
in the literary history of detective fiction. While some
elements that are now common to the genre, like the locked-room
scenario, had been used previous to the publication of Poe’s
masterpiece, Poe was the first to play with what were to become
conventions of the genre. These include the introduction of an
eccentric detective who relies on ratiocination to solve crimes
and the use of a narrator who, while awestruck at the sleuth’s
powers, nonetheless lays out a clearly described problem and
details the steps toward its solution.The purpose of literature,
Poe said, “is to amuse by arousing thought.” He also said
that “tales of ratiocination” should stick to the puzzle and
not wander off into novelistic digressions of mood and
character. Thus he not only invented the detective form but also
provided its credo.
尽管，艾伦坡的生命是悲惨而短暂的，但他仍然被
认为是少数的美国文学奠基人之一；被认为是恐怖故事和幻想小说的缔造
者；被认为是侦探小说之父。他曾经是两个在孩童时代就失去双亲的演员
的父亲,曾经被西点军校开除，被他的未婚妻拒绝。他娶了他的表妹，在他
的妻子因肺结核死去以后，他和他原来的未婚妻结婚，在他四十年的生命
中，他的健康状况一直很糟糕。尽管如此，或者从他的经历中获得灵感，
艾伦坡在他二十岁的时候成为一名发表作品的诗人，他作为一名编辑为南
方文学信息报工作直到二十八岁，因为放荡不羁的生活态度而被开除。在
他三十二岁的时候，他写《毛利街血案》的时候，他的文学评论，杂志文
章，短故事和他的诗歌已经被广泛刊登。《毛利街血案》被认为是显而意
见的，侦探小说历史上最为重要文学作品。许多基础原理现在已经普遍形
成了一种流派，比如封闭的房间，这些其实在艾伦坡的一些早期名著中就
已经被出版使用了。艾伦坡是第一个运用这些要素的人，包括介绍给读者
一个运用推理去解决犯罪问题的古怪侦探，然后是一个小说的叙述者，这
位叙述者尽管对侦探的能力推崇有加，但还是能够客观的描述问题，然后
一步一步的将侦探的推理叙述清楚。艾伦坡说过，文学的目的是，“从思
绪的唤醒中获得快乐。”他也曾说过，“推理天才”应该关注谜题，而不
应该在小说里面的情绪和个人性格这些细枝末节上误入歧途。尽管他没有
创造侦探的行为规范，但还是提供了一些很必要的行为准则。
